Appendix IV - Vendor Questions.docx

This is a Vendor Questions form (Appendix IV) for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2526 074 issued by the State of Florida, Department of Children and Families (DCF), soliciting responses for a Wastewater Surveillance program. The solicitation seeks a respondent to coordinate with Florida municipalities to facilitate the collection and transfer of wastewater samples for drug analysis, calibrate wastewater testing equipment and analytical methods in accordance with the Department's approved substance list, and create, manage, and host a data dashboard. The Provider must demonstrate expertise in wastewater-based epidemiology and maintain a fully equipped laboratory capable of performing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for comprehensive drug detection. As of March 3, 2026, Appendix II, Technical Response was updated and replaced with a revised document. The vendor questions form allows bidders to submit inquiries regarding the solicitation documents, with instructions to complete one question per row, reference the specific solicitation section and page number, and add additional rows as needed.

The document provided does not contain information regarding pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding amounts, or other financial details. The form itself is a procedural tool designed to collect vendor inquiries during the bidding process, with the substantive solicitation details contained in the related state and local contract opportunity listing.
